First- because it fits the weather (the freezing part, not the snowing part):
“It’s snowing still,” said Eeyore gloomily.
“So it is.”
“And freezing.”
“Is it?”
“Yes,” said Eeyore. “However,” he said, brightening up a little, “we haven’t had an earthquake lately.”
― A.A. Milne
Second-because all mothers should think their children are brilliant- an original poem from E.Boll after reading Ozymandias:
The Parthenon
E. Boll
January 14, 2013
Pure white stone trees stand tall atop a hill
Their sides ripple and dance with marble wave.
Spartans and Amazons circle its frill
Athena guarded those warriors brave.
Climbing stairs to see President Lincoln
A stone forest surrounds his giant throne.
One hundred twenty two score and five years done
The monument is a Parthenon clone.
But the temple in Athens is fading
Its stone is chipped, columns tilted and gray.
A victim of bombs and bullets raiding
Gunpowder brought destruction and decay.
Time, an invisible determined force,
Neither humans nor nature change its course.
Finally- because it is my birthday.
Chapter Six-In which Eeyore has a birthday and gets two presents.
